Book of the Month
January Book of the Month- The Boy Who Became King
For the month of January, we will be focusing on the character trait of Excellence. The character trait of excellence means striving to do your best in all areas, whether it’s academics, friendships, behavior, or activities. It involves showing dedication, putting in effort, and taking pride in your work while continuously seeking to improve.
To highlight the trait of excellence, we will be reading the book The Boy Who Became King by Anthony Curcio. The Boy Who Became King is the true story of LeBron James, one of the greatest basketball players ever! It’s about a young boy who grew up with his loving mom in a tough situation. With the help of a kind coach and his family, LeBron learned to play basketball and worked really hard to follow his dreams. Even though life wasn’t easy, LeBron never gave up. He became a superstar and now helps other people who are going through hard times, just like he and his mom once did. Read to find out how Lebron James showed excellence throughout his career.
Homelink Activity: Lebron James continues to inspire others and give back. What can your family do to give back to our community? Discuss this question as a family and draw a picture of what you will do to give back! Turn your drawing into your teacher for 5 house points!
